About Diego

Meet Diego! This handsome tuxedo kitten is around 6 months old and bursting with personality. Outgoing and playful, Diego loves everyone he encounters and is always on the hunt for his next big adventure. Whether he's chasing toys or exploring every nook and cranny of his foster home, he brings fun wherever he goes. Diego enjoys zoomies and wrestling matches with his kitten companions, making him a great fit for a home with another young, playful cat who can match his energy. He currently coexists with other cats of various ages and a large, indifferent dog. When Diego first entered the rescue, he had a severe eye infection, but it has healed without bothering him. Occasionally, his left eye is a little watery, but it doesn’t slow him down. After an active day filled with play, he loves relaxing and receiving affection. With his striking tuxedo markings and affectionate nature, Diego is ready to fill your home with joy and laughter. Diego is looking for a family that can provide plenty of love, playtime, and another feline friend for adventures. Could you be the one?
